Wormwood is a French bistro built around absinthe, from the team behind Tahona Bar in Old Town, occupying a 30th Street space previously home to Jayne's Gastropub. The kitchen runs what the restaurant calls French Haute Cuisine, with fixed-menu options.
The spirit itself is the point: absinthe is poured traditionally from slow-drip fountains with a sugar cube, and the list is meant to walk guests through the history and lore of the "Green Fairy" rather than just serve it.
The room leans into a vintage Paris look, with a brick-walled courtyard and patio that opens onto a semi-private garden space called Le Jardin Secret. Between the main dining room, outdoor terrace, and secret garden, the layout has made Wormwood a regular pick for date nights and special occasions, with attentive service noted as a consistent strength.
Wormwood is included in the Eater 38 and has been reviewed by The Infatuation.
